Hotel David Whitney, Autograph Collection

No Need for a Car — A Perfectly Walkable Stay in Downtown Detroit We had an incredible stay at the David Whitney Autograph Hotel while in Detroit for a wedding at the Shinola Hotel. We wanted a comfortable suite with extra space and amenities, and Room 1111 was exactly that. The suite was beautiful and pristine, with a kitchen, living area, and large windows that filled the space with natural light. The view overlooking the nearby round, park-like area was a lovely bonus and made the space feel calm and elevated. The staff truly stood out. From check-in to departure, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and professional, with a great balance of polished hospitality and genuine warmth. Every interaction felt easy and thoughtful—courteous, helpful, and even a little fun, which always makes a stay feel more personal. The location couldn’t have been better. The hotel is just one block from the Shinola, making it an easy walk—even in extremely cold weather. It’s right on Woodward Avenue, the main downtown street for shopping, dining, and exploring the city. We were also within walking distance of Comerica Park and Ford Field. We never needed a car the entire stay. Everything felt seamless, comfortable, and well cared for—an ideal choice for a wedding weekend or a downtown Detroit getaway.

The Aloft Detroit is a beautiful hotel! Everyone was so nice & very professional, so friendly and very helpful. They made you feel very special. It is in a great location, right across from Tiger Stadium & Ford Field, and only 1/2 mile from Little Caesars Arena. Lots of great restaurants withing walking distance. The rooms were very nice, exceptionally clean and the beds were so comfortable. Will absolutely be staying at the Aloft again!

This was our second stay and it was spectacular. My wife and I had a two bedroom suite booked for our annual downtown Detroit thanksgiving staycation with another couple and unfortunately we were informed at check-in that there was a problem with our room that couldn't be immediately remedied. However, the staff went above and beyond and arranged for adjacent one bedroom suites to accommodate us. The suites are spacious and extremely comfortable. The lobby is beautifully decorated and the staff is always welcoming. Prior to finding the David Whitney, we stayed at another upscale boutique hotel the previous three years and were very pleased, but after experiencing the David Whitney, l don't think anything other hotel could compare. Will be booking any here for any future Detroit stays.

Hotel is in an old, historic building. Has a nice, old-school feel to it. Staff was great, always responsive. Recommend the valet parking - good service, never waited for car long and they appear to keep it underground and not in the elements. As it is an old building, I thought the room lighting was below average and we couldn't get the temperature quite right. But it felt like a nice room and borderline mini-apartment-like. Bar service was good. Adjoining resturaunt did a capable job with breakfast. Didn't try their coffee shop but its there!

Beautiful hotel! I was only here for one night but I wish I could've stayed longer. Rooms were clean and cozy. The holiday decorations were beautiful. It's the perfect location for walking around downtown or going to a game. The surrounding area has a ton of shopping and things to do. The coffee from the little cafe connected to the hotel was also delicious.

The wife and I traveled from Ohio to see The Phatom of the Opera and could not have been more pleased with our visit and stay. Unfortunately with the frigid weather temperatures we were not able to explore downtown Detroit. The hotel was beautiful and the room had a very elegant look to it. We also enjoyed two meals at Presley’s located inside the hotel. The only minor complaint would be the shower hot water could be a tad bit hotter, otherwise no complaints! We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed here for a work trip. The hotel had a great location, comfy beds and hot water during sub zero temps. The lobby was beautiful & the staff even helped me find my lost credit card! I’d definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Detroit.
